You have seen how large Jupiter would be if the Sun were a 10-meter sphere. Using the same scale, how large would the other planets be? Give your answers in meters, rounded to the nearest one thousandth.

Verified Answer :

Ratio: \(\frac{10\,m}{1,391,000,000\,m} =7.2\times 10^{-9}\)

Mercury \(4,879,000\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.035\, m\)
Venus \(12,104,000\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.087\,m\)
Earth \(12,756,000\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.092\,m\)
Mars \(6,794,000\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.049\,m\)
Jupiter \(142,984,000\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=1.028\,m\)
Saturn \(120,526,000\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.866\,m\)
Uranus \(51,118\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.367\,m\)
Neptune \(49,528\times 7.2\times 10^{-9}=0.356\,m\)
